Why do you ask?

[desolavi]

Curiosity.

[angelgressor]

That's a strange thing to be curious about.

... ... ...

I have.

[desolavi]

Was it because you wanted to or because someone else wanted you to?

[angelgressor]

...I'm not sure if I could say it was either. I'm a soldier, so I've killed...many people.

[desolavi]

Ah. That sounds difficult.

[angelgressor]

...Difficult? Why do you say that?

[desolavi]

Killing one person seems hard enough. So doing it for a living must be tough.

[angelgressor]

...I've never given it much thought.

[desolavi]

I guess that makes things easier, then. If you don't have to think about it.

[angelgressor]

I'm not so sure if it's something that should be easy.
